In response to queries from architects and mechanical and engineering firms, ICAX, a company focusing on Interseasonal Heat Transfer for the collection and storage of solar energy to heat buildings, now offers CPD seminars on IHT.

These one-hour seminars, which are usually held at lunchtime at recipients offices, are designed to help professionals keep up-to-date with the latest approach to storing solar energy from the time it is freely available (in summer) to the time when it is needed (to heat buildings in winter). IHT answers the call for on-site renewable energy, which is coming from clients who are looking for energy efficient buildings, and also from those responsible for granting planning consents.

IHT is also relevant for those who want to increase the Coefficient of Performance of Ground Source Heat Pumps from the normal level of 2 to 3 up to a level of 5 or 6 which can be achieved when ThermalBanks are charged with summer heat before heat is extracted the following winter, reveals the company’s press release.
